- Interests in Research:
The research focuses on gene-environment-nutrition connections in cancer development. Why are certain people susceptible to cancer caused by the environment, and how may diet help to reduce this risk? We employ yeast, mammalian cells, and mice as study organisms. Genetic instability, mutations, DNA single and double strand breaks, DNA repair efficiency, and oxidative DNA damage are the most common endpoints.
